HAYDON" ART EXHIBIT.
While the Haydon art exhibition
this winler has not the variety of last
ear, the pictures, in the main, are of
a higher ehiss. Chief among them is
Muenier's "At the Watering INace,"
loaned bv Boussad Yaladen and Co. of
New York. It is a larger canvass man
Breaking Home Tie" ahowu here
last season, but unlike this latter pic
ture has no story to tell. It is what an
artistic iKiiuting should Ik a revela
tion of mood, giving as it does, the
feeling of intense sunlight and the
nodding quiet of a summer's noon
time. Another picture altogether dif
ferent in theme and treatment but
equally strange iu mood. Is the em
prejsiinistic inlerpretation of summer
In Claude Hassum. The drowsy air
faints with a hazy coloring and with
a languid veil of quivering heat. And
direct I v opposite, on the west wall, is
Francis IS. Townsend's "In a New
England Orchard." a picture so alive
with brilliant greens that it seems
periaded with a sort of verdant light.
But a little way to the right oi it
hang a violent cloud-shaded land
scape with a strip of yellow sunshine
iu th-.distance. With its delicate col
or fcvheme this cum as is the most
quietlv attractive picture of the exhi
bition It i "Roads from the Sea," by
Breekenridge.
Another nniiinir to lie mentioned
among thete hung on the line is thc
Charles Austin Xeedhain's "The Vale
of Ret," an atmospheric study which
might even cause those believers in
the old wsliool of polished, ehromo
like coloring to change their minds
(if they have any) about the re
sult oi the modern impressionist. A
siiidV (n ink) by Louis O. Furgensen
showns an exquisite technique both
iu anatomatieal exactness of drawing
and in the delicate flesh tones. One
feels that it is firm, wholesome flesh
and that the graceful IkmIv ts warm
with the red tide of life circulating
within it. Two of Louis Paul Dessnr's
pictures are also among the notable
ones, characterized as the- are by the
artist's raresymptby with nature
and by his unquestionable delight in
broad, open, sunny air.
There is an excellent jiortrait in
marble of Judge O. P. Mason. The ar
tist is Mr. Fred L. Kimuall.
Its adds io one interest and admira
tion of this piece of work to know
luit, Mr. Kimball worked from his
.tnmiiranra of the model, an old
daguerreotype. Mr. Mason's little
grandson, 'and hat and coat of the
judge's.
Two water colors by Ethel Evnnes,
of Omnhn, tire especially good. One is
"Notre Dame, de Paris at Sunset and
the other Is 'The Interior of St.
Etiemie du Mont." Both are marked
by the soft half-gray, half-violet tone
which' Is very effective. The sunset
in the first Is delicately painted, nnd
the outlines of the cathedral are soft
ened by tin elTcct of distance. In the
latter, the quiet and solemnity are
well brought out. "Candlelight" ap
peals to one nnd grows on one. It
n warm atmosphere and puts one into
the mood of dreamy listlessness. This
is one of Miss Corn Barker's pictures.
There is another by Miss Barker a
portrait of Miss II., which is especi
ally sweet and quaint.

GLEE AND MANDOLTN CUTIS
The sad lack of musical organiza
tions in this institution bids fair to
be partially done away with in the
near future. A double quartet has
been organized which it is hoped will
act as a nucleus for a larger club. The
reason why something of the kind has
been so late in making its appearance
has been, as the Nebraskan pointed
out some time ago, the need of a lead
er, and lack of enthusiasm among the
old men. This lack was occasioned
mainly by the failure of plans of last
year, owing to the fact that Professor
Kimball was compelled to abandon the
leadership to take up work as director
of the music of the trans-Mississippi
exposition.
But now eight have come together
and under the able dirction of Pro
fessor Kimball are preparing a song
for Charter Day, when their debut will
lie made. Those composing the double
quartet are: First tenors, Perkins,
Hudson: second tenors, Sherman, Sum
ner: first bass, Cuscaden, C. B. Sum
ner: second bas. Gillepjp, ReeT.
A mandolin club is also in process
of formation -and nere again is a

PALLADIAN ORATORICAL CON- ;
TEST.
The sixtfeii4.il auuiNil PallHliaii or-,
atoricn! contest oceurrel last Friday
evening in the cha'tel.
The fact that the interstate contest
occurs in Lincoln this year has given
an increased interest iu oratory this
year. Five contestants entered the
Palladian contest and the winner will
represent the society in the prelimi
nary contest which occurs the first
part of March.
The contestants were II. II. Hanks,
subject, "The Vital Principles of Gov
ernment;" Lee Berry, "The Faithful
Alolitionist;" C. C. Crouch, "How Pat
rick Henry Helped Free America;" II.
R. Tucker, "The New America;" R. L.
Waterman, "The American Soldier."
The judges on. manuscript were Dr.
Wharton, Judge Holmes, and Profes
sor Ansley; on delivery were Dr. Sher
man, Dr. Lees, and Rev bum, of Wes
leyan. 'Hie decision of the judges gave Mr.
Tucker first .place, Mr. Hanks, second,
Mr. Wutman, third.
The Delian Boys' Debating club held
its regular meeting Saturday evening,
February 4. Almut thirty members
were present and all took part in the
debate which was upon the question
of the appropriation by the general
government for the continuance of the
I Trans-Mississippi exposition at Oma
jha this year. Thc club invites thc
hi
, young men oi tlie university to attend
thi club and participate in the de-
I bates.

The game was hard fought from the
very iM'ginning. The victory was en
tirely due to the superior science and
team work of the university boys. The
Omaha team had a great advantage in
weight but it failed to win them many
goals. Their fault lay in depending
all too much upon their supposed su-

induced them to play a very rough
game. Denman, the big- center, was
I especially prolific in fouls, many of
which it was impossible that the um
pire should see. Miller, of the Y. M.
C. A. team, also had a number of
fouls to his eredil.
The management was very generous
in its treatment. Evervthimr possible

times successfully. The triangle was
also used to good advantage by Story,
Cortelyon and -Moore. On the defen
sive Moore had the most difficult kj
sition, having against him Omaha's big
guard Denuuin, but he succeeded iu
holding his man splendidly. (Virtely
ou's work, though good, was not so
brilliunt as usual, probably because of
an over supply of fruit cake, too kind
ly furnished by some Omaha friends
just before the game. Story, played
his usual heady game, always keeping
his nerve at critical moments. The de
fensive work of the university's guards
was splendid.
Omaha's stars were Denman at cen
ter, who though not sjccinlly scien
tific is a good man for the team, lie
cause of his Sampson-like strength.
Stillson, however, did some very pret
ty work and succeeded in throwing
two very difficult goal;s.
The game in detail:
The bull was put in play at 9:00 by
Iteferee Nelson and play started with
a spurt by the Omaha men who scored
a goal after one minutes play. The
goal was thrown by Denman. At the
IM'ginning of the next play Denman
began his slugging, striking Moore
Hi the eye and compelling him to take
out time. The lxall was again put in
play at the center and R. I). Andreson
threw a goal, which was not counted
because of a foul charged to him for
running with the ball. Miller missed
the try for goal from the foul. In the
next play Story secured a goal from
the field. Omaha secures another free
trial for a goal owing to a foul by W.

goal. Will Andreson makes another
goal by quick throw when almost com

and Miller misses goal. The double
pass is again worked. R. Andreson
scoring goal. Denman fouls Cortely

by R. Andreson by a long throw from
down the field. Denman scores again

JL.iUR PROM.
The junior promenade occurred Fri
day evening at the Lincoln lintel. At
thc lowest estimate that could be put
upon it, there could yet be no doubt
that it has lost none of Its former lus
ter. The hall anil jwrlors were bril
liantly .igiiUd throughout and the
large company of dunce rs weaving in
and around the decorations made a
very pretty sight. Although the dec
orutionw were not elaborate, they were
at least unique and fascinating. . .ie
attendance was large, although the
weather was far from being plcas.uu.
Many were here from other cities of
the state. The programs were medi
um size and the words upon the back
were engraved artistically. Sixteen
I dances and four extras were arranged
lor on the inside. Ihese were mostly
waltzes and two-steps, with five steps
at occasional intervals. Smilax was
the only floral decoration, but the ef
fect was excellent. Bunting of the
University colors was strctclicd upon
the chandeliers. American flags were
also in prominence. Promptly at 9:30
the grand march began led by Chan
cellor and Mm. MacLean. The chaper
ones of tJie occasion were Chancellor
and Mrs. MacLean, Mr. and Mrs. If. IT.
Wilson, Professor and Mrs. Fiing, Mir.
